Noticed I got caught in a wave of bans by the mod of [email protected] after downvoting their obvious distraction propaganda. They got pissy in the comments because their first post got heavily downvoted. So they deleted that post, banned everyone that downvoted, then posted it again to game the system. Classy. I wonder how lemmy.world admins feel about mods abusing their authority like this.

*Also, still can’t block communities we’ve been banned from on the community page. What a joke.
Probably PTB. It certainly isn’t acceptable to ban a swath of people that down vote, and assuming your comment was topical and not some kind of crazy, that would apply to everyone thus banned.
The probably part is because there might be some outside chance a given individual might have also said something in a comment that warrantied a ban along with down voting. I don’t think that’s the case here, just don’t have enough certainty to not acknowledge the possibility
No objectionable comment. No comment at all - just a downvote. And of course the mod downvoted this very post (*and comment, lol. Checking in to see what people think of you, eh?). How very “rules for thee” of them as they continue their sad little banning spree.
